What's the best way printing to image from anquet?
From the print option you mean? No idea.
Just downloaded PDFCreator from sourceforge, yeah it creates PDF's, but you can also select to save as an image (JPG and GIF), so no more screen grabbing if you don't want to.
Quoted message said:
I'd do a screengrab, then paste it into another program for saving as a gif. Not all programs give you full control over gif options.
Oh, if you do save a map as a gif, don't use dithering.

It does? I didn't know that. Thanks. -- Phil Cook looking north over the park to the "Westminster Gasworks"
Go to file menu, the click print. Rather than selecting your default printer select the Microsoft Office Document Image Writer. Click on print - this prints to a file rather than a printer. The file is .tiff format - open it up, edit it, save it as you please. The best way about this method is that you can add the releif sahding which makes for a good map (on the web at least.)
If you ARE going to do a "Print Screen" as detailed elsewhere remeber:
1. It only prints (i.e. copies to the clipboard) the portion of the map currently on view 2. Unles you press ALT+Print Screen you also get any other windows visible on your monitor copied to the clipoard.
Microsoft Office Document Image Writer is installed with MS Office.
Any particular version of MS Office? I have MS Office 2000 Professional, but that printer option is not on my drop-down list.
Yep, did that. Only trouble is, once I've cropped the map to remove all the tool/taskbars the quality is so poor that it is impossible to read.
I'm a bit late to this thread, but if you're still around...
I have MM and quite often make maps for use elsewhere by the screen capture method. Not sure why you find quality so bad? Here's an example (prompted by Paul's post, in both JPG and GIF formats):
